Master Replicas Falcon info collecting

As the title says I'm collecting info on the Master Replicas Millenium Falcon.

Here is what I have. Please add or correct as needed:

Master Replicas Millenium Falcon:

1,500 Limited Editions made.

500 Signature Editions made. Only difference being different plaques with Ford's signature and a small "Signature Edition" printed on the bottom of the model.

100 + or - APs, samples, etc.

So not more than 2,100 of these in the world.

L.E. went for around $2,200 give or take

S.E. went for around $2,700+

S.E. probably first 500 made

Each Model built and painted by hand.

1,100 different parts.

Internal heavy duty frame

S.E. shipped Dec 1st 06

L.E. Shipped late Dec/Early Jan

Some had problems with lights not working or not working for long. Some have been able to fix and in one case the problem was discovered in the base making it much easier to fix than taking the model apart.

Paint jobs varied greatly mostly in how heavy the weathering was.

Some had uneven manibles or forks in the front.

One of the two plaques had the word cannon misspelled. The corrected version was provided.

Any additional info and or corrections are greatly appreciated.

Also I was wondering if anyone knows if the number you have is actually the number yours was made or do they just throw the plaques in with the models randomly?

Thank you for fixing that.

You might want to add that there was a misspelling of the word "Cannon" on the 2nd plaque. Replacement plaques were issued.

Amen.

They say to use two people and that would be the smart thing to do. I have unpacked, packed, and set it up twice by myself. Two people would have been better for sure.

There are films of Joe Johnston carrying the original 32" Falcon around with one hand like it was nothing. The MR weighs like 50 lbs. or more! Outside of how heavy it is, I still never get sick of looking at it.
